Who knew the Donald could be so damn funny?

The president, when asked by the pool of reporters covering a midday meeting with Republican lawmakers at the White House whether he supported Mr. Mueller, gave no answer…. That may have been by design, according to a person who spoke to Mr. Trump on Tuesday. The president was pleased by the ambiguity of his position on Mr. Mueller, and thinks the possibility of being fired will focus the veteran prosecutor on delivering what the president desires most: a blanket public exoneration.

If Trump actually "thinks" the integrity-dripping Bob Mueller can be intimidated into a dereliction of duty, well, then Trump is either the funniest laughingstock alive, or the absolute looniest.
